News Briefs: KFF Poll Finds Voter Awareness of IRA Drug Pricing Is Low but Improving

Most U.S. voters are unaware of the Medicare drug pricing provisions resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act, although awareness among older voters has improved since November. That’s according to a new KFF poll tracking voters’ perceptions of major health and entitlement programs and how they align with presidential candidates’ views. Of voters aged 65 and older, nearly half (48%) indicated awareness of drug price negotiation — compared with 36% in November — and 40% knew about the annual limit on Part D out-of-pocket prescription drug costs, up from 27% in November. Meanwhile, large shares of voters indicated support for extending some of the prescription drug provisions to all adults with private insurance, which President Joe Biden has proposed, reported KFF.
